Neighborhoods: East LA, South Arroyo
I came here to look for a book for my niece. I like that they have computers where you can look up a book. So you many not know the name but you may still be able to find it. The associates were also helpful to help find the book.
An easy-access resource for books of any stripe, with impressive children's, business and bestseller sections. – In Short
Established in 1873 and still thriving, this mainstream bookseller boasts almost 600 locations and does brisk online business as well. Ubiquitous and well organized, Barnes & Noble arranges its huge book selection in 22 user-friendly categories, from Art and Architecture to Romance and Travel. Stores host seasonal book signings and family-friendly "Storytimes." Many locations also offer music, movies and cafes that serve Starbucks coffee.
Books...my other obsession – If I'm not wandering around in foodie stores like Sur le Table a few doors down...I'm wandering the bookstores. When I go mall shopping with friends...they actually have to pull me away from the bookstores. I can't help it if I'd rather peruse the aisles of literature (or romance novels) rather than racks and racks of clothes that I'm not going to buy or can't wear. Barnes & Noble in Old Town Pasadena is definitely a shopping destination for me. They have a very good children section and I always find something for my nieces here. I'm the weird aunt that never buys toys. I buy books...and they love it...whether they know it or not.
Very generous bookstore – I really like this neighborhood bookstore. It just has such a nice atmosphere. Everytime i walk in, i feel at home. It can get very crowded on the weekends. It can be a nice getother place for teens and adults.
Its okay – This place seems to get a little to crowded at times but its pretty cool. It is kind of small but you will find just what you are looking for. The customer service is a little hard to find but hey.. they are so busy!
Not so bad – Just an average BN. The sitting isn't ample, the magazine selection could be better, and the store is not that large. If you are looking for a good BN check out the one in the shopping center at 3rd and Fairfax in LA.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... there is good ripeness to the vibrant and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that exude a fine minerality on the precise, pure and lingering finish. This is a quality villages that is a bit more forward than the old vines cuvée."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A softly oaky nose frames a pretty and fresh nose of white peach, spiced pear and discreet citrus notes that precede the rich and notably generous medium-bodied flavors that possess a round mouth feel where the energy picks up considerably on the linear and ever-so-mildly austere finish. A..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good dark red. Black cherry, licorice and herbs on the ripe nose; reminded me a bit of cabernet. Fat and sweet but energetic too, with lovely roundness and balance to the flavors of dark cherry, currant and spices. Finishes with very sweet tannins and noteworthy persistence. A strong village..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is luscious and open, with peach, melon, ripe apple and grapefruit flavors. Not much oak here, but the alcohol is slightly elevated. A savory component adds a flourish on the finish..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An exceptionally elegant nose of lemon zest, white flower, spiced pear and plenty of stone influence complements well the equally mineral-infused, intense and beautifully welldetailed flavors that possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension. I particularly like the long, dry and linear..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright pale yellow. Pure, discreet pineapple and stone aromas reminded me of a riesling. Brisk and focused, with a saline quality to the grapefruit and white pepper flavors. Terrific acidity and cut here. Finishes smooth, very long and perfumed, leaving behind a strong floral element in the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Moderate wood influence fights just a bit with the otherwise very fresh and pretty aromas that display a significant floral component along with ripe scents of plum, cassis and earth. There is fine mid-palate density and excellent phenolic maturity to the large-scaled yet refined flavors that..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Here the very toasty oak aromas presently dominate the otherwise ripe underlying fruit. There is good freshness and verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that exude a finer minerality that continues onto the gorgeously long finish. There is so much..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a taut wine, touched by yeast and warmed by ripe yellow fruit. Flavors of melon and spice from the new wood give it an open feel. It is ripe, already rounded and full bodied."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This offers a big step up in aromatic elegance with its stone, rose petal and lemon and orange peel scents that dissolve seamlessly into racy and wonderfully energetic flavors that possess excellent depth and length. The mid-palate seems directly extracted from liquid stone as 2010 is a vintage..

Incredible! – All I can say is "Wow!" The food is incredible. All the ingredients are really fresh, the food comes out piping hot, and the portions are huge.
Service was efficient and friendly. The dinnerware is quite unique -- very artistic.
I highly recommend ALL of the seafood dishes!
Very poor customer service but pretty good food – We are relatively new to the area and have not found any really authentic, good Chinese food until we came and ate at Jade Palace. The problem we had on our 2nd visit was with the delivery. We are vegan and our order was sesame tofu. We received sesame chicken instead. Honest mistake that we expressed we understood. But upon following up with them, no apology, rude on the phone and although they brought us the correct order, we had to show them the chicken dish so they could "inspect it" to make sure we didn't eat any!? It was a little weird and unprofessional. Again, we are vegans and do not touch meat. Despite that incident we may continue to go back. Buyer beware of the customer service and their attitude. Although you can have positive, even empathetic talks with them they still can be a bit rude and unsettling.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Chinese and seafood restaurant serves items such as crispy mandarin pork, shrimp with cashews and yang-chau fried rice.
Wow! My favorite Chinese restaurant hands down – It's all about the food. The food is wonderful. I would recommend the Beef and Broccoli highly. I've had some of the lighter dishes like the Moo Goo Gai Pen and the Seafood Soup, and don't know, after eating those dishes, I feel like I'm doing my body a favor. The music is a bit quirky sometimes, but overall, the food, very very tasty. Great stuff.
Poor service – I called a day ahead to make a reservation ahead of time for a special dinner for 2 people, and was told that if your party is less than 4, no reservation is needed- just come. When I arrived, I was told that they would not seat parties less than 4. The management confirmed this, and my party was refused seating. Very poor customer relations of which they seem not to care
disorganized – We had reservations and our table was being given to another customer as I was waiting for my table. The hostess crossed out the wrong name. After persistent requests on my part to be seated,
it took 40 minutes for a party of 6 to be seated, We were finally seated at 2 different tables side by side with an isle in between. It was not a good arrangement for a family meal.
The service was very disappointing. The food is nothing special.
This is a great resturant. – Jade Palace is great! The menu has an array of delicious dishes.

While the teeth and jaws are strong, they also play a prominent role in the interaction of animals with their environment. This predisposes them to traumatic injury, most commonly fights with other animals, automobile impacts, getting caught on fences, or falling onto hard surfaces. Mandibles can also suffer spontaneous pathologic fractures due to severe periodontitis around the mandibular first molars or to mandibular neoplasia.
A fractured tooth with a red or black spot in the center of a fractured surface indicates pulp exposure. A missing tooth after trauma might be avulsed or may be fractured with persistent root fragments. This is determined radiographically. Fractured mandibles cause acute malocclusion and inability to eat. The midline of the mandible is usually displaced toward the side of the fracture. The mouth may be held open.
Fractured teeth are treated as described above (see Endodontic Disease in Small Animals). Avulsed teeth can be replaced if treated immediately. The owner should immediately place the tooth in a tooth transport medium or milk, without touching the root. The alveolus and root surface should be gently flushed with sterile saline to remove dirt, and then the tooth placed into the alveolus and stabilized for 1 mo with interdental wiring. Rigid stabilization with acrylic or composite is less ideal for the periodontal ligament repair (encourages ankylosis), but it may be a good idea to protect against abuse of the recently replaced tooth. Root canal treatment is done when the fixator is removed.
Soft-tissue trauma is repaired using primary closure with absorbable sutures. Oral soft tissues are vascular and heal quickly. Oral flushes with 0.12% chlorhexidine solution every 2 days helps decrease the oral bacteria during healing.
Maxillary fractures can be stabilized with wire and sutures. Mandibular fractures can be more challenging; when possible, they can be repaired with a combination of interdental wiring and an overlay of composite resin or acrylic as an external fixator holding the teeth. This positions the fixator on the distraction side of the fractured bone, while avoiding damage to the roots that is common with bone screws and plates. Preserving normal occlusion is important. With rigid stabilization, the pet can usually readily eat soft food until the appliance is removed in 6–8 wk.
Caudal mandibular fractures behind the molars are much more problematic because of the lack of teeth on both sides of the fracture and the very thin bone caudal to the body of the mandible. Plates can be used, but the prognosis is guarded. Interarch wiring (ie, wiring the upper dental arch to the lower arch) can be successful, but there is a risk of aspiration while the wiring is in place if the animal vomits. A feeding tube is used until the wiring is removed.

Tyler Eifert, TE
- Height: 6-foot-6
- Weight: 251 pounds
- School: Notre Dame
Scouting Report
Although his numbers were better during his sophomore season, Eifert won the Mackey Award as the nation's best tight end after he had a team-high 685 receiving yards and tied for the team lead with 50 catches and four touchdown receptions for a Notre Dame squad that was unbeaten before losing to Alabama in the national championship game. Eifert, the son of former Purdue basketball player Greg Eifert, is arguably the best tight end in this draft, with Stanford's Zach Ertz also in the conversation. The all-time leading receiver among Notre Dame tight ends with 140 catches, Eifert didn't have the luxury of an elite quarterback to work with during his college career, while Ertz played with Andrew Luck in his first two seasons. The Irish star is a tall tight end that provides a big target and creates matchup problems for opposing defenses. While not particularly fast, Eifert is quick enough to create separation from linebackers in coverage and is very adept at finding open space. He is an NFL-ready pass catcher with excellent hands and shows no fear when asked to make tough catches over the middle in traffic. A willing blocker that has improved in that area, Eifert will need to improve his technique to be an every-down tight end at the next level. He may have staked his claim at this draft's top tight end with an impressive showing at the combine, where he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds, touched 35.5 inches in the vertical jump, posted a broad jump of 9 feet, 11 inches and benched 225 pounds 22 times. Almost certain to be taken in the first round, Eifert's combine showing could be enough to make him one of the top 20 picks.

Novel H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu)
Disclaimer: This page is archived for historical purposes and is no longer being maintained or updated. Last updated in October 2010
Novel H1N1 flu, originally called swine flu, first surfaced in Mexico early in 2009. It quickly spread throughout the United States, arriving in South Carolina in April 2009. By June, it had spread to so many countries, the World Health Organization deemed it an influenza or flu "pandemic."
Like seasonal flu, novel H1N1 flu can cause mild to severe respiratory illness and can even lead to death.
A flu pandemic has two features:
- It involves a new type (strain) of flu virus that has never infected humans before, so our immune systems sometimes have trouble fighting it off.
- It has spread globally, to people on at least two continents.
Novel H1N1 Flu Spread Rapidly in South Carolina
Unlike seasonal flu, which seems to thrive in cold weather, novel H1N1 flu has flourished in the southern heat and humidity.
Within five months of our state's first confirmed case, thousands of South Carolinians had tested positive for the new strain of flu. Some have had to be hospitalized. People have died from complications of novel H1N1 flu. Most of those who have died were in one of the high risk groups for novel H1N1, which are not the same as the high risk groups for seasonal flu.
Seasonal Flu High Risk Groups
Novel H1N1 High Risk Groups
|People over 65 years of age
|Young adults 18 – 24 years of age.
|Children younger than 2 years old
|Children birth to 18 years of age
|People of any age who have chronic medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, lung disease)
|People ages 25-64 who have chronic medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, lung disease)
|Pregnant women
|Pregnant women
Vaccine for Novel H1N1 Flu
Flu vaccines are your best protection against both seasonal flu and novel H1N1 flu. Each strain of flu requires a separate vaccine.
People who are in greater danger of life-threatening health problems from novel H1N1 flu or seasonal flu, should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
When the novel H1N1 flu vaccine first became available in October 2009, it was shipped to all states in very limited supplies and in varying formulations. Distribution of the vaccine was initially limited to persons identified by the CDC as being most susceptible to the novel H1N1 flu (see chart below). By December 21, 2009, enough vaccine was being received in South Carolina to allow healthcare providers to offer the vaccine to anyone who wishes to be vaccinated, regardless of age or health status.
Monitoring Outbreaks
DHEC monitors:
- Local outbreaks or clusters of novel H1N1 flu
- Hospitalizations due to novel H1N1 flu
- Deaths due to novel H1N1 flu
- Changes in the severity of the virus.
Each week we update our flu surveillance information with the previous week's confirmed flu cases.
Medicines and Treatment for Novel H1N1 Flu
Your healthcare provider can give you medicine to help ease the severity and the duration of H1N1 flu. Two types of antiviral drugs — Tamiflu and Relenza — seem to work for this strain when taken shortly after symptoms begin.To learn more about antiviral medications, see the CDC's H1N1 and Seasonal Flu: What You Should Know About Flu Antiviral Drugs.

I want to commend Sherry Kelley on her recent letter in support of Jimmie Lee's reelection. As a voting member of the District, I too wish to add my support for Jimmie Lee. A man who already has proven himself to have and has practiced all the attributes and more portrayed by the letter writers from Madisonville, Danville, Bowling Green, New York city and Chicago. It is amazing how the letters from all those diverse places seem to read alike.

As an active athlete all his life, John has enjoyed expanding his interest in sports and fitness into a career. A background in competitive weightlifting, rugby, and track and field paved the way for the rest of his endeavors. John spent twelve years as a stunt rollerblader traveling throughout Europe and America with childhood friends.
He began his education at New Zealand College of Fitness where he left as a Certified Personal Trainer. From there John began working for a gym in Auckland specializing in high-intensity strength training, where he continued to garner his professional education and certifications. Through continual research he stumbled across CrossFit in late 2008. Over time he gradually started to incorporate the philosophy into his own training as well as his clients'. When John arrived in America he began working at CrossFit Newton where he introduced and spent ten months running the ONRAMP program, helping to bring new people into the world of CrossFit. John's personal clients over the past 3 1/2 years have ranged from people with special physical needs to D1 collegiate athletes.
In addition to being a participant of multiple seminars and competitive events within the local CrossFit community, John is also the author of an article published in the June 2010 edition of the CrossFit Journal. The article, "To Game or Not to Game," analyzes the concept of treating CrossFit as a sport by strategizing during a workout to enhance performance.
John says: "I feel extremely privileged to be able to do what I love for a living. I consider myself a perpetual student of fitness and have an unrelenting passion and drive for what I do. When I am not working or training myself I am usually researching anything I can get my hands on in relation to exercise, nutrition and general health. I pride myself on my integrity and am dedicated to helping people achieve their goals."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered wedding shower invitations and they turned out beautifully. The paper quality, wording options, ink color choices & the envelopes are excellent quality. I was referred by my sister who has used Wedding Paper Divas before and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The invitations were also delivered in a timely manner & were packaged well so no corners were bent or torn."
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This invitation for my daughter's bridal shower turned out very beautiful and elegant. Very professionally done! And the turnaround from approval of the proof to delivery to my front door was fantastic! I will most definitely use this company for future paper products like this!"
"When I first saw this Bridal Shower Invite I saw a reflection of my own personal style. It was incredibly simple to personalize; I believe it took me less than 10 minutes. When I read the only review that was posted at the time I almost re-considered ordering this invite as the person stated that the quality was poor as there was no shimmer to the card and that it looked cheap. Since I had ordered my Save the Dates from Wedding Paper Divas and was pleased with their quality and how quickly they arrived I decided to trust my gut and order these. I ordered them on the pearlescent paper hoping to add any lacking "shimmer" and I went with rounded corners. They are shimmery and gorgeous! Look and feel beautiful. Every person I have talked to who received one has complimented them. I definitely recommend this site and this specific product."
"We chose this invitation for our friend's shower and have received so many compliments on how beautiful it is. It's simple, but pretty. The invitations came in right on time. I would definitely order from WPD again."

Awesome, thanks man....... I found a few sites where the instructions were to remove the software and I ran the first line and realized what it was and wanted to find a safer way....
Is there a way I could get the amazonmp3_1.7.22_signed_zipaligned.apk back ( that was the one deleted), thanks for all the help!!! Im a n00b to Droid and this site is just plain money!!!
kindle is redding something. GEt it fast. I hate that app
Is there a way to do this through root explorer? I can't get the entertainment key to work in terminal emulator. Don't want to actually delete them if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have an X, but I do have a rooted Droid here... instead of using all these adb commands and what not, since you guys have root now, why not just use Root Manager? Much simpler and easier.
Thought I would post this here, it's a tweet from birdman (the guy that figured out root):
DO NOT REMOVE BACKUPASSISTANTCLIENT if you do, get it back on there NOW! a factory reset will result in a near brick.

Summary of The Lakotas and the Black Hills Summary of The Lakotas and the Black Hills Reviews for The Lakotas and the Black Hills An Excerpt from The Lakotas and the Black Hills
A concise and engrossing account of the Lakota and the battle to regain their homeland.
The Lakota Indians made their home in the majestic Black Hills mountain range during the last millennium, drawing on the hills' endless bounty for physical and spiritual sustenance. Yet the arrival of white settlers brought the Lakotas into inexorable conflict with the changing world, at a time when their tribe would produce some of the most famous Native Americans in history, including Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Jeffrey Ostler's powerful history of the Lakotas' struggle captures the heart of a people whose deep relationship with their homeland would compel them to fight for it against overwhelming odds, on battlefields as varied as the Little Bighorn and the chambers of U.S. Supreme Court.

Amy Lanou to Hold Book Signing, Give Talk on Preventing Osteoporosis; UNC Asheville Professor's New Book Debunks Calcium as a Means to Improve Bone Health
Tue, 06/09/2009 - 12:00am
For years, doctors have told us to drink milk and take calcium supplements to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis. The problem is they're wrong, according to Amy Lanou, UNC Asheville assistant professor of health and wellness.
Lanou and noted health writer Michael Castleman recently released a new book exploring this high-profile health concern. "Building Bone Vitality: A Revolutionary Diet Plan to Prevent Bone Loss and Reverse Osteoporosis" (McGraw Hill, June 2009) dispels the calcium myth and tells readers that eating low-acid foods like fruits and vegetables and taking daily walks are more effective than calcium in preventing bone loss.
Lanou will describe the plan featured in the book and discuss her bone health research at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 16, at UNC Asheville's Reuter Center. A book signing will follow. The event is free and open to the public.
Lanou is a frequently quoted local and national media source on health and nutrition. She holds a doctorate in human nutrition from Cornell University, and is the author of "Healthy Eating for Life for Children." In addition to teaching, Lanou serves as senior nutrition scientist for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Height: 6'4" Weight: 217 Age: 30 Experience: 9th season College: Utah Drafted: 2005 R1 P1, 49ers
Posted: 3/18/2014 7:25pm et
The Kansas City Chiefs' contract extension negotiations with QB Alex
Smith are ongoing. He has one year and $7.5 million left on his
current contract, and there remains no timetable for an extension to
be reached, according to general manager John Dorsey.
Huddle Up: Look for Smith, who provided the Chiefs with the leadership and TD-
to-interception ratio (23-7) they've been sorely lacking in recent
seasons, to wind up with the extension he deserves no matter how
much time it takes this offseason.
Posted: 2/10/2014 1:45pm et
Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith said he would like to stay with the team but will not worry about his contract because he still has one year left on his contract. "I think at this point when you get veteran enough it's always year to year. You just understand it's the nature of the game. You've got to play good, otherwise you move on, so I don't care how many years you've got on a contract, for me it's just to be expected." Smith said he is excited about what the offense will be able to do next season because of the success they had in the second half of the 2013 season. "I'm very excited, if you look at our last eight or nine games offensively, we really did some good things and took off a little bit there," Smith said. "And we got some momentum heading into the offseason. Obviously the playoff game was tough to take, but there are some positive things, too."
Huddle Up: Expect the Chiefs to overhaul their receiving corps this offseason, which would go a long way towards helping Smith put up better fantasy numbers. More screen passes to Jamaal Charles wouldn't hurt, either.
Posted: 2/4/2014 4:40pm et
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt hopes QB Alex Smith will be the long term answer at quarterback for the team. 'When we made the trade for him a year ago, that was part of the thinking,' Hunt said of re-signing Smith. 'I don't think that thinking has changed. He came in and did a nice job. We're glad to have him as a part of the Kansas City Chiefs, and we hope it's longer than a two-year stay.'
Huddle Up: Smith had a strong debut season (career-high 3,313 passing yards and 23 TDs) in K.C., and with the Chiefs desperate to end its perennial search for a QB, look for Smith to land a long-term extension.
Posted: 10/28/2013 11:00am et
Since the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 8-0 on Sunday, Oct. 27, with a win over the Cleveland Browns, they triggered an escalator with the San Francisco 49ers in which the Chiefs now must give the 49ers a 2014 second-round pick as part of April's trade of QB Alex Smith. The 49ers can deal that pick for its second-round value before Tuesday's trade deadline, if so desired.
Huddle Up: Not likely the Chiefs will mind tossing a second-round pick at the Niners for a perfect season thus far. As for the 49ers, they're stockpiling draft picks once again.
Posted: 8/23/2013 9:35pm et
The Kansas City Chiefs have played it safe with QB Alex Smith through the first two preseason games, as he has reportedly looked downfield very little. He has yet to target WR Dwayne Bowe during the preseason.
Huddle Up: This could be a sign of things to come in the regular season. Smith doesn't have a big arm and he hasn't thrown the ball downfield much during his career. Andy Reid is likely to focus more on the short passing game, which could limit Bowe's overall fantasy value.
Posted: 8/17/2013 12:13am et
Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith completed seven of his 16 pass attempts for 62 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in preseason action Friday, Aug. 16, against the San Francisco 49ers, his former team.
Huddle Up: After playing well in the opener against the Saints, Smith struggled versus a more stout 49ers' defense. It's hard to judge anything in the preseason but even if he has a productive year in Kansas City, Smith won't be anything more than a decent fantasy backup. At best, Smith will help fantasy owners as a bye-week filler and injury replacement when the match-up is favorable.
Posted: 7/27/2013 1:23am et
Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith connected with WR Dexter McCluster on a deep pass down the middle that was hauled in for a touchdown Friday, July 26, on the first play at training camp. More importantly than the big plays, head coach Andy Reid likes consistency, and Smith went several plays into practice before throwing his first incompletion. "There weren't a lot of balls on the ground, and it looked like the defense had people covered," Reid said.
Huddle Up: Smith completed 70 percent of his passes last season before suffering a concussion and eventually being replaced by Colin Kaepernick, so he has experience keeping the ball off the ground. If he can remain accurate in Reid's high-volume passing offense, he'll have an opportunity to put up helpful fantasy numbers.
Posted: 7/17/2013 5:39pm et
Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith said new head coach Andy Reid has been "very hands-on" regarding the quarterbacks and the offense, which incorporates some of the same terminology that Smith used under the direction of San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman for the past two seasons. He seems happy to have a new beginning. "To see them make the move and trade and get me, and it's what I wanted to happen -- very exciting. Now, it's my turn to go make the most of it."
Huddle Up: Smith was showing signs of life prior to his injury and replacement by Colin Kaepernick last season, completing 70 percent of his passes. That bodes well for his role in Reid's perennially pass-happy offense, which could generate enough opportunities for Smith to be a legitimate fantasy contributor.
Posted: 6/28/2013 6:49pm et
Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles labeled QB Alex Smith as a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback. "I think he is. He's got a great arm," Charles said. "He's been winning most all of his career. I think he wants to prove people wrong: That he is a good quarterback, that he can stay consistent."
Huddle Up: Smith was having a solid season in San Francisco prior to suffering a concussion and losing his job to Colin Kaepernick. And given the propensity of an Andy Reid offense to throw the ball he should have ample opportunity to pile up some stats in Kansas City this season. He's not a starting caliber fantasy quarterback, but he's a solid backup plan with definite upside given his offense.
Posted: 6/6/2013 6:11pm et
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid isn't afraid to have QB Alex Smith throw the ball downfield often, something he wasn't accustomed to doing during his time as a starter for the San Francisco 49ers. Reid is challenging Smith to be more aggressive without being careless with the football and causing turnovers. 'It's a new offense. I would tell any quarterback that comes in new that that's what you need to do. I've told them all that. Go ahead and take your shots and see what you can get away with, within reason. But if it's a close throw, there are going to be a few of those in the National Football League on game day so you need to know what you can get away with on each route,' Reid said.
Huddle Up: Smith's career yards per pass attempt is 6.6, and it'll be interesting to see what happens if he does cut loose with a WR and TE corps that aren't exactly built for stretching the field.

Illini and Hurricanes to square off at 7:40 CT with Sweet 16 trip on the line
No. 7 Illini to face No. 10 Colorado in 2nd Round, March 22, in Austin
No. 8 seed Illini to Face No. 9 Seed Minnesota on Thursday, March 14 at 11 am CT
Illini close regular season looking for season sweep of Buckeyes
Illini have won six of their last seven heading into Tuesday night tilt in Iowa City
Brandon Miller spent one year on John Groce's Fighting Illini staff, serving as Special Assistant to the Head Coach during the 2012-13 season. Miller brought eight years of experience to Champaign, six of which came at Ohio State.
Miller began his career as video intern at Xavier in 2004 when the Musketeers won the Atlantic 10 and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight. Miller then followed Thad Matta to OSU where he served as director of basketball operations for two seasons from 2005-06 and one year as video coordinator in 2007. The Buckeyes won consecutive Big Ten titles in 2006 and 2007 and advanced to the 2007 NCAA Championship Game.
Miller returned to his alma mater, Butler, for one season as an assistant coach under Brad Stevens in 2008 when the Bulldogs won the Horizon League and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Second Round. He then rejoined Matta's staff in Columbus as an assistant coach for three seasons from 2009-11. The Buckeyes again won back-to-back Big Ten crowns and made NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in 2010 and 2011.
While Miller has been a part of successful programs as a coach, his playing career was equally as impressive. He played at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) as a freshman in 1999 when the Bears advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. He then transferred to Butler and sat out the 2000 season before starting 97-consecutive games over his final three years with the Bulldogs. Miller became one of just eight players in Butler history to score 1,000 points in just three seasons, finishing his BU career with 1,121 points.
Miller helped lead Butler to a three-year record of 77-20 and three trips to postseason tournament play. As a senior, he led the Bulldogs in scoring and assists, while helping the team to a 27-6 record, a Horizon League championship and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16. He finished his career among Butler's all-time leaders in 3-point field goals (189) and assists (305) and earned Horizon All-League and All-Defensive Team accolades as well as Academic All-League honors.
Miller was named Butler's Co-Most Valuable Player in 2003, and later that year, he was named co-recipient of Butler's Most Outstanding Male Athlete Award. He received the Horizon League's 2003 Cecil M. Coleman Medal of Honor, the League's highest individual award, and he was named recipient of the 2003 Chip Hilton Award, presented annually to an NCAA Division I graduating senior who demonstrates outstanding leadership, character, integrity, sportsmanship and talent. In 2006, he was named to the 15-player, Butler Team of the Sesquicentennial.
A native of New Castle, Ind., Miller earned a bachelor's degree in education from Butler in 2003. He and his wife, Holly, have two sons, Mason and Michael.

GRAVENHURST – Muskoka's own rock legend, Carl Dixon will be taking the Peters Players stage tomorrow night (Nov. 17).
The long-time and still lead vocalist of Coney Hatch and one-time front man for both the Guess Who and April Wine is taking a break from the recording studio to perform live for his home crowd in a solo acoustic show.
He's been working away on a new Coney Hatch album recently, following up on a book project he's just completed. Dixon said he will be reading excerpts during his performance of the book, Strange Way to Live; a piece he said he hopes is an "inspiration" and "thoughtful comment about coming back from the brink, healing, reinventing yourself and triumphing over a life-changing event."
The book details his 2008 vehicle accident in Australia that left him severely injured and cost him his spot touring with the Guess Who at the time. A lengthy recovery process included penning the autobiography, but he's back on his feet and performing again.
His career began in Montreal with a group called Firefly in 1979 which he left two years later to join Coney Hatch in Toronto, becoming their lead singer. He wrote or co-wrote many of their hits, such as the popular Hey Operator and Devil's Deck and spent the better part of two decades touring with both Coney Hatch and April Wine. One of his solo works, Fool's Paradise was part of the 1989 horror flick Freakshow and by 1997 he had joined in with the Guess Who, a band he played and sang with until his serious injury in 2008.
Since his recovery he has become a motivational speaker, intertwining his tales of life as a musician and singer while also facing his tragedy. His performance Saturday night will feature plenty of music and some stories. For tickets or more information, contact 705-687-2117 or peter's players.com.

I heard about his visit ahead of time and called his office to request an opportunity for the public to chat with him while he was here about current proposals in the Senate. According to his office in Grand Junction it was a campaign/fundraising meeting, "separate from senate business." When I asked for public time with the Senator, his staff assured me that they would try to arrange it and call me back – which they never did. According to the Ouray Watch, it was a "town-hall style" meeting – yet it was held in a private home for an invited few only. Senator Bennet was simply not interested in the questions and concerns many of us have about the health care proposal and other current issues before Congress.
Since we were denied the chance to speak with Senator Bennet in person, I must attempt to get his attention here. My questions: Senator Bennett, have you read this bill (some 1,000 pages)? Certainly, there are different versions going through different committees, but the benchmark is HR3200, the bill the President wanted to sign before anyone learned what was in it, just like the stimulus bill. What's the hurry if the bill doesn't go into effect until 2013? What is it you are trying to hide? The more we learn, the more we do not like it, and don't want anything to do with it!
Since you say this health care plan is such a winner, why are the Senate, House, Executive Office, and other elites in Washington exempt from it?
Let's sign up members of Congress first and see how it works. Go ahead, you go first.
Information presented by Senator Bennet and the administration is very different from what is actually written in the bills. Bennet says the proposed plan is the fiscally responsible thing to do and will pay for itself. Even after taking a huge chunk of money out of Medicare (with more baby boomers enrolling every day) the Congressional Budget Office reports a deficit of over one trillion dollars over ten years for this health care proposal. Some claim the deficit to be three times that amount. This is similar to the prescription drug plan passed by the last administration – three times what the "experts" in Washington said it would cost. In case you missed it while you were on the road "meeting with the people," Mr. Bennet, our 10-year budget deficit was revised up two trillion dollars to nine trillion dollars. Mr. Bennet should go back to school and take math again. You are bankrupting our country.
Choice in plans is another conflicted statement. HR3200 contains a dozen triggers that will force you into the government plan, not by your choice, but by law. They advertise choice, but it comes down to the fact that this plan is designed to bury private business and the government will be the one and only provider. When have Americans ever been ordered by their government what to buy and what to pay for it?
Why should we pay for health insurance for illegal immigrants? Amendments were offered to assure only American citizens would receive this great benefit, but were killed in committee on a party line vote. They say one thing in public and do another behind closed doors when they write the laws.
Some were upset about the government eavesdropping on cell calls after 9/11.
What would you say about the government having electronic access to your bank account? How about the government having and keeping all your medical records? Where are those privacy advocates now? Why aren't they howling about the danger of government invading our private lives? The silence is deafening.
And many of us wonder just who wrote this entire 1,000-page bill in the first few months of a new administration. Has it been sitting on someone's shelf? Who is really behind this? Where are the questions? Where is the media asking those questions? And why aren't the answers, or in many cases, non-answers, being questioned? This has too big an effect on our country to foul up.
The deception by this administration goes on and on, not only in this bill, but others, including Cap & Trade Bill and the Stimulus Bill. Painting a rosy utopian picture, they actually work to deliver government control of industry after industry. If that's what you want, you have plenty of choices in failing socialist countries overseas. Move to one of them, please.
Real reform is being ignored. The appointed Senator cited rising costs.
Those costs can be addressed by allowing interstate competition within the private health insurance business. This would open up more competition between companies, thus lowering rates. To be sure, insurance companies must reform. They need to do the right thing the right way, addressing pre-existing conditions, portability, and plans that meet our needs and budgets.
Tort reform seems to missing from any mention of reform. Is that because so many of those in Washington are lawyers? Malpractice lawsuits drive up costs more than any other factor, both for medical services and necessary drugs. Where is the cry for tort reform run by the government, so everyone can afford a lawyer? Shouldn't that be our right, too?
Finally, our Senator of six months publicly charges us to stay engaged and attend town hall meetings, yet refuses to meet with the citizens of Ouray County. He, along with our Representative John Salazar, hide from the people they represent and refuse to take our questions. What are you afraid of? If you have all the answers, why attend an invitation-only house party?
Come out and face the people.
If this is how Senator Michael Bennet conducts himself, he did not deserve to be appointed by Governor Ritter, and certainly does not deserve to be elected on his own.
